Today was kinda shitty, but there are noodles and fish and soup.
A wooden tray with dishes of stir fried noodles, broiled miso marinated mackerel, and miso soup with tofu.

Get ready for a sanitized, committee-designed remake of every cartoon you loved! Now with more genAI and less soul, and with messages no one (except the already marginalized) will find offensive! Art that comforts and upholds the powerful and privileged, now streaming for only $29.99 per month.

For my various overwhelmed, neurodivergent, or just plain tired friends: another friend of mine has just started a business as a mental load helper. Think PA but affordable and for your everyday life. You get some breathing room, she gets grocery and rent money. 🙂 heyzine.com/flip-book/32...

This is something I'm thankful for my parents talking to me *specifically* about as a kid. This is part and parcel of the consent conversation. And it's a convenient "in" for talking about cycles of abuse and guilt and the trap of "well you're guilty now too." Systemic problems.

I just had minor surgery and doc prescribed an ointment. Insurance denied it for the 4 days he put in as too short. So the pharmacist put in 10 days. Too long, denied. Tried 7 days. Too long. Tried 6 days. System crashed. I needed it now. Paid out of pocket. Luigi had a good idea.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

This aspect is really important for my fellow cis-male Flour Rangers to note. Rape Culture/Patriarchy is one of the inflection points of White Privilege when it interacts with cops and the justice system. Because that's how it replicates itself.

Late Japanese-ish easy mode lunch: rice, eggplant miso soup, kelp pickles, Japanese BBQ fried tofu, and jasmine green tea. #homecooking
What it says in the post, in four little bowls and a Japanese style teacup, on a tray, with a white ceramic spoon in the soup and dark red and black chopsticks on a turnip shaped rest.

A long read, but a... well. It's something Mostly further evidence that we live in a deeply silly, very terrifying, cutring-room-floor and writer's-trashbin period in human history, even when compared to such ridiculous and horrible times as the 13th century or 536 AD.
